Diffuse lepromatous leprosy (Lucio-Latapi leprosy) is a special form of lepromatous leprosy found only in Central America, where it is the predominant type. It is distinguished by widespread, diffuse infiltration of the skin by leprosy bacilli without formation of nodules or plaques. This may produce a full "baby-face" appearance and loss of eyebrows. Patients are predisposed to a fulminant type II leprosy reaction which can result in widespread cutaneous infarction (Lucio phenomenon) [Dermatology TAG].
